While it’s human to feel emotional about our money, it’s important to acknowledge the emotions, then move past them to think about investing in a pragmatic way, Apollo Lupescu of Dimensional Fund Advisors told the audience at Warburton’s recent virtual town hall.

In conversation with Jonathan Hall, President and CEO of Warburton, he answered pressing questions about tariffs and their potential impact on the markets. Every day, the market is evaluating: what can I as an investor expect this company to make? Even with the impact of tariffs, there are still core principles in how the market operates to remember.

  1. Markets operate freely. When they move, that’s a sign that the market is doing what’s expected of it: reacting to potential impacts. Remember, volatility is the spark in the engine of capitalism.
  2. Companies are resilient. When presented with new challenges, they work to find ways to navigate them and remain profitable.
  3. Our country is built on great institutions that will keep operating as usual.

Remember, markets price in expectations before a policy is implemented.
